As for me, I shall behold Thy face in righteousness; I will be satisfied with Thy likeness when I awake.

What
beautiful words, what a beautiful expectation - the expectation of
every true believer, one that extends beyond the end of time and out
into eternity. We shall fall asleep in death, but one day we shall
awake and when we awake we will be satisfied, satisfied with the
likeness of the Lord. Awaking, clothed with His righteousness, putting
on His likeness and beholding His face.

I just rejoice in that
phrase, “I will be satisfied.” I don’t believe there’s anything else
that can fully satisfy the human heart but God Himself. At this time in
this life we have contact with God. We know Him, we serve Him, we do
His will. But there are gaps in the revelation, there’s a veil in
between, we are still creatures of flesh. Our ideas and our concepts
are so limited and inadequate to apprehend God, but there’s going to be
a day when we awake in His righteousness, not in our own, clothed with
His righteousness, faultless to stand before His throne, to see Him
face to face. And then we will be satisfied.

Nothing else can take the place of that. That’s the end of all living. It all ends in God Himself.
